Czech rally news

Onboard of Valoušek from shakedown: V?e o Rally CZ, AutoCrossu, RallyCrossu, Kartingu ? MediaSport.cz

So, is the RBR stage included in the rally? :D

No, all variants have been out for quite many years.

Pech out in SS1 - mechanical problem (again).

Rally leader Valoušek crashed on SS6. Pechs problem this morning was again rear diff.

After very good performance, Petter Kristiansen retired cause of steering problems. According our meeting earlier this week, I think he must be really, really fed up right now.
Very good speed by Martin Koči so far, must say.

What a pity! Looks like Roman Kresta is also retired due technical probs in SS13. Does anyone have any better info about it?

What amount of casualties on this event :s

Fantastic 5th overall for 2WDs winner Jan Cerny :up:

Yes, really strange rally in terms of retirements of top crews. Pech - rear diff, Valoušek - accident, Kresta - propshaft.

In the end Tarabus won the rally after a big fight with local Jan Dohnal who did probably best drive of his life. Third Orsák who was ill all the time. Despite having also a puncture he managed to stay in front of young Slovak Koči (who has car prepared by Orsák team). Fifth another local Jan Černý clearly fastest 2WD. Than Hudec, Peták (another local and co-organizer), Adolf and Emil Triner back in the little 1400 ccm Fabia (also local).

One era ends. Roman Kresta did his last full season. He will continue to manage his team and take new role in our national rally committee. Most likely he will start few events next year but no full program.

By the way one curiosity. Third year in a row the rally was decided on the last stage when second driver made 17 seconds on first one and took the lead. I don't know how it's possible :D

2010 - Tarabus from Valoušek
2011 - Kresta from Pech
2012 - Tarabus from Dohnal

This year it was SS13 and SS14 was canceled already after first run due to an oil on the road from one crashed car.
